About Rescue Me Labradors of Kentucky and New England

Rescue Me is located in Lexington, Kentucky. We are a home based rescue helping Labradors in need. We have fosters in the New England states and work with many rescues also.

We rescue Labradors that find their way to high kill shelters in the south, mainly Kentucky. There is an overpopulation of pets at the shelters here in the south. The Labradors are pulled for rescue and given a second chance.

They are given a home environment, medical care, vaccines, dewormed, frontline plus for fleas, heartworm tested if old enough and given a preventive or treatment, and are spayed and neutered. Basic training is started while they wait for their new home. Crate training and house manners are also started.

Transport is available to the New England States every week. Please ask for the schedule as these trips are scheduled with a USDA transporter and may change. Each pet travels in a crate and is feed and given water during the trip. All pets are up to date on vaccines and travel with a Health Certificate.  

Which Dog Breed is Best for Children?

Dog adoption is tricky. Finding a pet dog for a family with children takes time and patience. To find the best dog for your family, consider the dog breed first.

The Labrador dog breed is one of the best dog breeds for families with children. This dog breed is very affectionate. It scores high on the Loving Scale. The Labrador loves to play... especially Fetch!The Labrador is once again choosen as the most popular breed in America. It is also the most popular in the United Kingdom and Australia. According to the breed atandards, Labradors are well balaced and represents the "perfect" dog. Labradors are people-oriented and have a great demeanor.

New England is a great place to own a Labrador. Take your dog out to play in the meadows and woods. Your pet dog -- whether Labrador or really any other breed -- requires that your children be responsible pet owners. Labradors need lots of exercise every day. Ensure your children are prepared to take the dog out for walks at least three times per day. Labradors make the perfect pet for the active family. They love swiming, fetching, or just hanging out with you.

While you can find dogs for sale, many Labradors here in Kentucky and down south are waiting for their forever home.
